Oaxaca, Mexico - 11th May 2008

By: gzvargas

Hi Mama!

We have Completed my first Life Mission, I have known The Historic Centre of Oaxaca and the Archaeological Site of Monte Albán.

Here We are in Monte Albán, a large pre-Columbian archaeological site close to the ville of Oaxaca. The site is located on a low mountainous range rising above the plain in the central section of the Valley of Oaxaca.

The civic-ceremonial center of the Monte Albán site is situated atop an artificially-levelled ridge, which with an elevation of about 1940 m (6368 ft) above mean sea level rises some 400 m (1312 ft) from the valley floor. In addition to the aforementioned monumental core, the site is characterized by several hundred artificial terraces and a dozen clusters of mounded architecture covering the entire ridgeline and surrounding flanks (Blanton 1978). The archaeological ruins on the nearby Atzompa and El Gallo hills to the north are traditionally considered to be an integral part of the ancient city as well.

There have lived the Zapotecas and important civilization in Mexico, That place it's grate, i liked to much mom!

I am going to buy you a postcard from this site! i'ts fantastic!!!!
